Steny Hoyer vs. John Murtha

If Dems win, Steny Hoyer and John Murtha will be facing off for House Majority Leader (with more candidates to come?).

I don't see how Stoyer could win. For one thing, he has done a miserable job as Democratic Party Whip (more on this here and here). Murtha gets it, Stoyer has no clue; Murtha is courageous, Stoyer is a coward. In fact, that is one of the reasons I think Murtha is letting the press know he's running, because he realizes what a scared little man Steny Hoyer is.

If Dems win, item #1 should be getting rid of the DLC'ers in leadership who weren't primaried. I'm talking down to the committee level. Leadership is only as strong as the weakest link and Hoyer has proven himself unfit to serve.
